11 Nov 1945, Chronology of Events Related to Stanley Civilian Internment Camp

Former Stanley internees Henry Graye and Elizabeth Florence Donaldson are married at 'the Registry'. The reception is in the Rose Room of the Pensinula Hotel - the former Japanese headquarters is getting back to normal.

Bishop Ronald Hall preaches at the mid-day service at the Cathedral. He's a man who's never made any secret of his left-wing views. After referring to the heavy losses among the brave defenders of Hong Kong, he tells the congregation:

Under God we dare not stay in Hong Kong unless it is our purpose to build here, as part of the great Pacific civilisation of the future, a city in which truth and freedom and justice are not tainted by national pride or racial fear.

An article on page 3 of the Sunday Herald describes conditions in Singapore's Changi Camp. It describes the fortitude of the former Hong Kong Dean, Bishop J. L. Wilson who was one of 40 people arrested by the Kempeitai on October 10, 1942 ('the double tenth') and charged with espionage offences. Wilson, who was accused of receiving money for anti-Japanese purposes, was one of six survivors. The article also notes that Stanley Camp got more news of the progress of the war than Changi.
